CA honours team

Published May 12, 2006

SYDNEY, May 11: Aboriginal flags will fly above Australian cricket venues Friday as Australian cricket recognises the 138th anniversary of its first touring side to England, the 1868 Aboriginal team, Cricket Australia (CA) said on Thursday.

In what's planned as an annual initiative, CA and most states/territories associations will fly the flag at their offices or grounds to honour the team.

Arriving in England on 13 May 1868, the Aboriginal team played 47 matches in five months abroad.—AFP
